É um bom jogo, mas tem alguns gatilhos, então se você não estiver muito bem psicologicamente eu não recomendo. Não é nada muito pesado, mas traz umas coisas meio profundas que me deixaram um tanto quanto reflexiva.
O jogo é obviamente uma metáfora, mas eu achei interessante e gostei da história.
Vou admitir que no começo eu achei meio parado, as coisas tavam demorando muito pra acontecer, mas depois eu vi que esse era o ritmo do jogo mesmo, e essa demora pra acontecer algo era proposital pra você ter a experiência completa do jogo.
Resumindo: gostei

This game was incredibly okay. The highlights, in my opinion, were the sound effects/music and most of the prose/poetry that make up the narration. The art is fine, but in my opinion, needed another pass. The 1-bit style is cool in theory, but it makes certain things hard to read. I remember being especially confused during the opening because not only is there nothing that shows the controls, but I couldn't even tell where my character was on the screen because they blended into the background. And like I've mentioned in previous reviews, I really can't stand pixel-imperfection at all, and it is pretty bad here, but I understand it's very very hard to do in modern engines, so I let it slide. I like the inclusion of the purple highlight on things that need to be interacted with. It's a great design choice and definitely helps show what and where things are, but at the same time, the further use of the purple around the doorframe and in the window as setdressing and not as a design cue were very confusing to me at first.

This next section contains discussion of the ending. I didn't mark the entire review as spoilers for the sake of the first half.

I feel like I was quite confused by the message of the game. It was obviously about depression, based on the warnings in the beginning, but also the allegory of being alone and unable to leave the house. And at the end, when the game is building up to going outside, I saw that as the logical conclusion, and a sort of happy ending to the story. But then, the dog pulls you back in, and it turns out that the signal telling you to go outside was actually a lie. This was a very disappointing ending for me. Not only because it felt like it was backpedaling on the depression message (I.E. leaving the house (escaping depression) is bad) but also because I felt like it came out of nowhere. The purple haze in the distance acted as more of a plot device than anything else, a reason why we're trapped indoors. The rules of its magic go largely unexplained, and that's ok. It serves its purpose AS a plot device and didn't need to be anything more than a reason to stay inside and not let people in, AKA, an allegory for depression. So when the game ends with a 180 where all of a sudden the mist has a brand new property of human speech mimicry and uses it to try and lure you outside, it completely catches you off guard and, in my opinion, entirely undercuts the previous message. As predictable as it would've been, having the player get to go outside (even if we never actually see the outside) would've been a much better ending. I don't know. I may be reading too much into this and caring way too much, but the game made its purpose as a story about depression very clear, so the sudden shift from allegory to lore felt out of place. It just felt like the conclusion was "don't try and heal, don't escape depression if it's too scary or hard" when the whole game was about "we can't do this forever/we can't live in this loop forever/this isn't living life".

I won’t lie that 30 minute long story games where the player goes through the same things in a daily loop… aren’t exactly new or novel but this one was fairly decently executed. I think the pixelated artstyle is fairly pretty and helps show off fairly decent design on the more-visually out there parts of the game, and this is complemented by how it only uses three colours — the addition of purple to black and white both to signify what is interactable from a gameplay perspective and to add emphasis on the more alien/horrifying aspects of the game’s setting. Story wise, I think the daily loop does well to communicate through gameplay the plot’s themes of isolation and drudgery, though I feel maybe that it went on one or two loops too long? It’s not particularly helped by how slowly the player character moves — I get that maybe that can be seen as thematic, but I do think it loosely takes a step too far and turns from deliberate emulation of the drudgery of post-apocalyptic life and kind of made me feel a bit bored while I was slowly going down the same hallway over and over again. Even then, though, it’s still fairly short, and decent, and free, and Australian, so if you happen to have half an hour to spare there are definitely worse options than this game. 6/10.
